反意疑問句：
說話人對自己的看法不完全肯定，要求對方加以證實，這時使用的疑問句叫做反意疑問句。反意疑問句由一個陳述句和一個簡略的問句構成。在反意疑問句中，如果前一部分是肯定的陳述句，后一部分要用否定的簡略疑問句，如果前一部分是否定的陳述句，后一部分要用肯定形式的簡略疑問句，兩部分在人稱、數、時態方面均要保持一致。回答時要用yes或no。注意的是當第一部分為否定句時，回答要根據事實，這時英語回答和漢語回答是不一致的。如：
- Emperor Qin’s Terra Cotta Warriors are one of the greatest wonders of the world, aren’t they?
- There aren’t any treasures in Qin Shi Huang’s Underground Palace, are there?
秦始皇地下宮殿沒有任何珍寶，是吧？

Yes, they are.
是的，他們是。
Lily will be free tomorrow, won’t she?
莉莉明天有空，是嗎？

教室里沒人了，是嗎？

是的，沒人了。
